Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Cache memory is a computer component that help to retrieve data from the computer's memory by acting as a temporary storage area where the computer's processor can retrieve data easily. The temporary storage area is known as cache and is more readily available to the processor than the computer's main memory source.

Although Cache memory is a smaller type of a computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores which frequently used computer programs, applications and data.

Cache memory is used to reduce the average time to access data from the Main memory and they stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster.
